Usability Review Session at MindCamp 2.0

April 30th, 2006

1. Vista. 

  • Mostly looking at the file dialogue. 
  • New features include back button and breadcrumbs. 
  • Also file attributes and tags. 
  • Some neat new UI. 
  • More exposed UI features 
  • Trying to keep it more consistent and accessible.

2. Can’t talk about this UI because they haven’t launched yet.

3. eBusiness Applications AJAX Components. 

  • should the following screencasts again cuz I couldn’t get Wifi
  • Master Detail or Drill Down Pattern
  • Inline Editing Pattern and Real-Time Saving
  • Copy and Paste Pattern
  • Alexei took a bunch of notes he’ll post later

4. Real Arcade

  • design wire frame mockups in blakc and white for layout
  • then change design elements, graphic highlights, colors, images ( same layout)
  • people read websites in an F pattern
  • used tabs because they’re common UI conventions
  • had menu design constrains due to business partnerships with advertisers
  • target audience is middle aged women
  • can’t make UI screen size any smaller
  • list menu on right hand size has image buffer to accomodate for internationalization

*AGAIN ROUGH NOTES*
